Finally read @lemnsissay's #MyNameIsWhy. Extraordinary and unforgettable - besides the searingly honest writing, the most remarkable thing about this story - his story - is that it actually happened https://t.co/xbPz5HLpfJ https://t.co/um5HgGGzvX

2/3 I first got turned onto the rich history and many controversies in the history of measurement by Hasok Chang's brilliant Inventing Temperature, which I drew on in my own chapter on 'measuring consciousness' in #BeingYou https://t.co/nfuGNclZ68 https://t.co/b97ciDwkY1

The Book of Minds has arrived 🤓 Having read an early draft of ⁦@philipcball⁩’s survey of animal minds, I already know how good this is (very). Am looking forward to dipping back in. An excellent accompaniment to ⁦@edyong209⁩’s wonderful An Immense World. https://t.co/TibHhCDrZr

8/ Bittersweet, by Susan Cain @susancain. The follow-up to her all-conquering #Quiet, Bittersweet is a beautiful exploration of this most mysterious and contradictory of emotions – and there’s even a soundtrack (Albionini’s Adagio in G minor💓) https://t.co/MDtqMlW77S https://t.co/CzWLrwLrxZ

6/ East west street, by Philippe Sands @philippesands. A prize-winning detective story, family history, and legal thriller, set in the Ukrainian city of Lviv. I recommend listening to @philippesands’ narration (with David Rintoul). Then try The Ratline. https://t.co/aSlyA2ZhOr https://t.co/aL8xkcldlA

5/ Children of time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. An acclaimed sci-fi novel involving terraformed planets, intelligent spiders, and an ambitious portrayal of the vastness of time and space. I found it hard to get into, but it stayed with me https://t.co/TFTmoFVFb2 https://t.co/rh3PsYRcD0

10/ “Anil Seth was my most anticipated guest in 2021 and our conversation was one of the highlights of the year. If you can only read one book this year it should be Being You.” Ginger Campbell @docartemis https://t.co/1oeJcUUQLl

15/ The overstory, by Richard Powers. Hugely acclaimed and multi-prize-winning, Powers’ novel weaves together individual narratives into a portrait of nature, its precarity, and its importance. A book that invigorates, warns, and enriches. https://t.co/Jh4awr6JPe

I'm very sorry to have to cancel my event today as part of the f r a g m e n t s festival, celebrating the centenary of Eliot's The Waste Land (@eliotfoundation). I keep hoping Long Covid will lift, but it just doesn't. https://t.co/lY62x2xcsB

22/ Bewilderment, by Richard Powers. As with The Overstory, a eulogy to the natural world. Surprisingly, a central device is ‘decoded neurofeedback’ – an innovative neuroscience method developed by @hakwanlau see 7) & others. Powerful stuff.
